I believe it's a good pickup, and I also believe we've probably signed our last FA unless Poole comes at a reasonable price. I like the new look. I think we'll be better than most "experts" predict for us this year. :D

It's linked in my original post, chiefs_freak. Just click on where it says "KCChiefs.com" at the top and it'll take you to the article. ;)

Also, I went to KCChiefs.com and clicked on news and notes and then new signings to get to the story.

old_geezer, the AP is reporting that Keith Poole signed with the Broncos. Maybe that's why we went ahead and signed Belser.

Poole signed with the Donks? How many recievers do they need?

I don't get it. Is this simply more "depth", or is this guy expected to unseat Woods or Wesley?
At this point I'm not sure if he's played one safety position hie entire career, or both. I see more glaring needs than safety...I'm still waiting for a decent CB with experience. I guess that's out of the question. |

We had [b]one[/b] experienced backup at the safety position on the roster before this move, that being Bracey Walker.
We have at least seven cornerbacks on the roster right now. A decent cornerback with experience isn't available anywhere that I'm aware of (eric davis is the only name I can think of, and I don't like him), and if there is one out there, he's going to cost significantly more than we can afford. I wish we'd signed someone other than Crockett, too, but that's what we're stuck with... |

I just read in Vermiel's 6/11 interview on kcchiefs.com that Belser will most likely be competing for the third or fourth safety spot.
Also, for those interested this was also in the interview: Q: (WR) Mickael Ricks played some tight end today, is that right ? VERMEIL: "We moved him in there to work him as we do Tony (Gonzalez), especially in a pass offense. He did well. We're working on it and plan to take it into camp and see how it works. He's almost 240 pounds now." Q: Was (WR) Snoop Minnis doing a little work with the first team today ? VERMEIL: "Yeah, we're going to get him more reps with it. We might work (WR) Sylvester (Morris) some at the "Z" position too, because he's going to have to learn to play both spots (flanker, split end.) |

Interesting. I proposed moving to Ricks a few months ago (prior to drafting Baber) because of his size and (I believe) he'd played the position some in college.
Still, I can't imagine we have room for [i]that[/i] many tight ends on the roster... |

Just in case people have questions about this signing, and to further Keg's point, consider the two names of the guys who were backing up our safeties the first day of camp and tell me you'd be confident going into the season with that:
[quote]At the first day of their second mini-camp Monday, Kansas City's backups to starters Jerome Woods and Greg Wesley were Bracey Walker at strong safety and Brad Trout, a first-year player from Valdosta State, at free. The 31-year-old Belser, who has started 126 of his 141 NFL games, would give Kansas City proven depth at either of the safety positions.[/quote] |
